ABSTRACT:
A method of calibrating a dimmable lighting system having an electric lighting fixture and light sensor in an electronic controller. The method comprises a system which makes eight measurements while controlling illumination levels from both indoor and outdoor lighting. The method calculates a set point and a gain which are utilized to maintain a constant lighting level at a lighting point of interest.
